  It is a little odd to read obviously Claude 5/4.x prose highlighting the potential for a data center for Claude to raze a natural heritage. The fact it caveats literally every single sentence with its florid prose is the dead give away.

  Soon there will be a story like this about one of americas last journalists being buried in the cement foundation of a data center.

    That is disheartening. They couldn't build around it? It seems particularly malicious.

      I’d refer you to the news since January 2025, it’s been a series of intentionally malicious acts attempting to destroy faster than can be built.
